Luke 19:28-35

New Century Version

Jesus Enters Jerusalem as a King

²⁸ After Jesus said this, he went on toward Jerusalem. ²⁹ As Jesus came near Bethphage and Bethany, towns near the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent out two of his followers. ³⁰ He said, “Go to the town you can see there. When you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here to me. ³¹ If anyone asks you why you are untying it, say that the Master needs it.”

³² The two followers went into town and found the colt just as Jesus had told them. ³³ As they were untying it, its owners came out and asked the followers, “Why are you untying our colt?”

³⁴ The followers answered, “The Master needs it.” ³⁵ So they brought it to Jesus, threw their coats on the colt’s back, and put Jesus on it.
